Some people misplace their sunglasses. Gary Kulak apparently misplaces sculptures.

Kulak, a nationally-recognized sculptor and the head of the Fine Arts Department at Cranbrook Schools, filed a police report last month indicating three sculptures were stolen from his back yard in Birmingham.

The three sculptures are collectively priced at more than $40,000. One of them is a cast bronze chair that weighs over 250 pounds. Kulak created two of them, while the third was created by another alumnus at Cranbrook.

Turns out they were never missing.

On July 13, Kulak posted on his Facebook page that he discovered the three sculptures at his cabin up north, exactly where he had left them.

“Well, it looks like I am losing my mind,” Kulak posted. “I just drove up north and the first thing I saw was ‘the missing pieces.’ Oh my god. I immediately remembered that I brought them up before I left for Italy. I apologize for any anxiety or apprehension that was created.”

At the time of the reported theft, Kulak was working on a sculpture in Gramolazzo, Italy. His work has been displayed in museums around the country – including the Smithsonian.

Kulak himself could not be immediately reached for comment regarding the misplaced artwork. His Facebook friends, however, took the incident in stride. As one person posted, “All’s well that ends well.”
